The Faen Realm is an alternate dimension fabricated by the Shapers, which is occasionally accessible from Temerant, especially during nights with a full moon or no moon [1]. It is inhabited by the Fae, who comprise many species and races and have diverse magical abilities, such as disguise and telling the future. The realm is the subject of many pieces of folklore and myths in Temerant, but little is known about their true customs or culture. The Fae may be immortal or have very long life spans [2].
